LOCOS IN MOTION - 20th ANNIVERSAY CELEBRATION
By Ann Clemant
On Saturday 21st July and Sunday 22nd July [2018] we celebrated our 20th Anniversary by inviting Black Diamond, Harlequin, and Makala Morris (Bridlington) to come and join us in a weekend of dance in Darlington and Piercebridge - a big thank you to them all for making it a great weekend!
We began the Saturday morning in South Park (Darlington), where we danced at the Café and the Bandstand in the morning. At lunchtime we had a shared picnic near the Lake, in the garden area behind the Bandstand - very sociable, with plenty of food and cakes!
The weather was most definitely on our side and we attracted a large number of spectators, particularly in the afternoon when we danced at the Children’s Playground, again by the Lake, and then back at the Café.

Our evening of celebration was held at the great Akbar Indian Restaurant, with 33 hungry Morris Dancers devouring a vast amount of curry. The there was more cake of course - a huge 20th Anniversary sponge cake (with our photograph printed on it!).
On Sunday morning we visited Archers Ice Cream Farm (Walworth Gate), where we danced before sampling their delicious ice cream. This was followed by more dancing at Walworth Castle in their beautiful surroundings, with another large audience. Everyone who participated really enjoyed the weekend. The dancing, food and company were second to none. Facebook: Locos in Motion Border Morris.
